Chapter 15: Entering Drop Ship Invoices

Purpose: Use Entering Drop Ship Invoices to enter or maintain an A/P invoice for an item that your vendor shipped to the item (a drop ship) if you use drop ship pick slips for this vendor. The screens you use to enter invoices for vendors who receive drop ship purchase orders are described in Chapter 16: Entering A/P Invoices.

If the Drop ship pick field on the second Create/Change/Display Vendor screen is set to Y, you produce drop ship pick slips for the vendor; if it is set to N, you produce drop ship purchase orders. See Merchandising Chapter 19: Working with Vendors (WVEN).

Matching by drop ship invoice differs from matching by purchase order in these ways:

• You cannot enter the gross invoice total or work with discounts, even if the Enter Gross A/P Invoice Amount (F03) system control value is set to Y.

• You cannot close out a line after matching a partial quantity.

• You cannot create an invoice charge back if you increase the total cost for an item.

• Changes to the item cost or quantity do not post to a variance general ledger account.

• You cannot select all items for payment at once through a function key.

Uploading A/P invoices: You can also create A/P invoices through an upload. See Working with A/P Invoice Upload Errors (WAPU) for an overview and more information.

Gross due days

The number of days used to calculate the due date for the invoice. This field defaults from the terms code, but you can override it.

When the terms type is “days,” this value is added to the invoice date to determine the gross due date; when the terms type is EOM (end-of-month), this value is added to the end of the month to determine the gross due date.

Numeric, 3 positions; required.

Net due days

The number of days after the invoice date, but before the due date that the customer is eligible to take the discount, if one is defined. This field defaults from the terms code, but may be overridden.

Numeric, 3 positions; required.

Gross due date

The date when the invoice is due. The system calculates this date based on the terms code and invoice date.

If the terms type is days, then the invoice date plus the gross due days equals the gross due date.

If the terms code is end of month, then the end of month invoice date plus the gross due days equals the gross due date. For example, if the invoice date is 4/21/98 and the gross days is 15, then the due date is 4/30/98 (end of month) + 15 = 5/15/98.

Numeric, 6 positions (MMDDYY format); display-only, calculated by the system.

Net due date

The last date when the discount can be taken on the A/P invoice if it is paid before the due date.

If terms code type is days, the invoice date plus the net due days equals the net due date.

If the terms code type is end of month, then the end of the month plus the net due days equals the net due date.

Numeric, 6 positions (MMDDYY format); display-only, calculated by the system.

Including or Excluding for Payment

Purpose: At the Work with Invoice Details Screen, you can select items you have billed on a drop ship invoice and indicate whether to include them on an A/P invoice for payment (post to A/P). Your options in doing so include:

exclude: exclude the item for payment on the invoice and leave the A/P transaction record open for matching on a subsequent A/P invoice

change quantity: pay for a greater or smaller quantity than the default from the purchase order

change price: specify a different unit price for an item

Include/Exclude

Include: Enter 8 next to an item to include the item for payment on the A/P invoice.

Validation: The system validates that the item is in an open (O) status and has a valid general ledger account number, and displays an error message if the item is not available for inclusion. Correct the item and enter 8 next to it again to include it.

Change Status: The item's status changes from O (open) to:

P if you are not using batching

U if you are using batching and you are including the entire quantity

S if you are using batching and you are including a partial quantity to indicate that the item is posted to the A/P invoice.

Once you have included, or partially included, an item on a suspended invoice, that item is not available to be included on another invoice unless you delete the original one or reject the batch.

A/P Totals: The total quantity and dollars applied to A/P for the item (A/ #/$) increase to reflect the posting; these totals appear on the second line for the item. Also, the Qty applied and Amt applied (Amount applied) totals at the top of the screen increase to reflect payment of the item.

If your transaction changed the entire quantity of the item to a posted status, the item disappears from the screen. You can press F20 to display all items eligible to be included on the invoice, regardless of status.

Exclude: Enter 8 next to an item that is currently included for payment on the invoice to exclude it from payment.

If not fully posted: If the item is not fully posted because you had previously entered a lower quantity to include on the invoice, enter 8 at this time will have the effect of including the complete quantity for payment. The item's status will change from S to U (if you are using batching) or O to P (if you are not using batching). Enter 8 next to the item again to exclude the entire quantity.

Change Status of a Fully Posted Item: The item's status changes from U (if you are using batching) or P (if you are not using batching) to O (open).

A/P Totals: the total quantity and dollars applied to A/P for the item changes back to zero. Also, the Qty applied and Amt applied (Amount applied) totals at the top of the screen decrease to reflect excluding the item.

Change Quantity or Cost

Quantity: Press F15 to change the Qty (Quantity) field from display-only to enterable. You can then advance to this field for a particular item and enter a new quantity. When you do so, the Extension next to the item changes to reflect the new result of the item quantity times the price. You then need to include the item for payment by entering 8 next to the item.

You should change the quantity field before entering the general ledger number, if necessary, because pressing F15 to make the Qty (Quantity) field enterable also has the effect of clearing any general ledger number you have just entered.

If you enter a lower quantity, the remaining quantity of the item will remain open for matching against a subsequent A/P invoice.

Cost: To change the cost, advance to the Cost field and enter the new cost.

Once you have changed the item quantity or cost, or both, you then need to include the item for payment by entering 8 next to the item.

Create Unmatched Transactions Screen

Purpose: Use this screen to add an item or extra charge that did not appear on the matching drop ship invoice to an A/P invoice.

Purpose: Use this window to change the totals on the A/P invoice from your entries on the Work with A/P Invoices Screen (Entering Invoice Header Information).

This window provides you with an opportunity to adjust the amount of the A/P invoice from the detail screen after you have had a chance to review the individual A/P transactions. The merchandise and the other (sales tax, freight, etc.) amounts represent the entire payment to the vendor for the purchase.

Overriding merch/other amounts: You can override the values in the Current merchandise amount and/or Current other amount fields by entering over the values in the appropriate fields.

If you override either of these amounts, notice that the value in the Amount field at the top of the Work with Invoice Details Screen reflects the new total of these fields.

Displaying/Hiding G/L #

Purpose: Use the Display G/L # function on the Work with Invoice Details Screen to remove or display the G/L # fields on this screen.

Using this function: This function is convenient if you are working with additional fields for the item and want to avoid overriding the general ledger number accidentally. If you press F14 to remove the G/L # fields from the screen, you do not have to Tab over the G/L # field to update the values in the Qty (Quantity) or Cost fields.

The G/L # fields reappear if you press F14 again.

Accepting or Rejecting the Invoice

Purpose: Use the accept or reject functions on the Work with Invoice Details Screen to process or reject the A/P invoice.

To accept: Press F9 to accept the A/P invoice. The system:

• Verifies that the values in the Amount and Amt applied (Amount applied) fields match. You cannot accept the A/P invoice if they do not.

• Returns you to a selection screen.

• If you use batching, the system:

• creates the invoice in a suspended status.

• puts each item that is fully included for payment on the invoice in a U status, and partially included items in an S status. These items will become available for matching on another A/P invoice if you delete the invoice or reject the batch containing the invoice. Items that were not included on the invoice remain open for additional activity.

If you do not use batching, the system also:

• adds a record to the A/P Check file and includes this posting on the Accounts Payable Due List. The invoice status will be either O (open) or H (held).

• closes any items on the purchase order that were included on the invoice for payment.

• makes the appropriate postings to the general ledger.

• increases the vendor's A/P total.

To reject: Press F11 to reject the A/P invoice and then press Enter at the reject-confirmation pop-up window. You return to a initial selection screen. The drop ship invoice will be available for matching against another invoice.
